Center Ronny Turiaf got traded from the New York Knicks back in December as the team made room for Tyson Chandler to help New York create its own Big Three. That addition hasn't paid off fully for the Knicks just yet as they've gone 2-3.
Turiaf, however, has found himself in much worse territory. He's now playing for the league's only winless team, the Washington Wizards, and also will now be out for some time after breaking his left hand during Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics, according to the Washington Post.
The paper notes that Turiaf broke the same hand last summer while playing with the French national team and is expected to be out of action for five to six weeks.
This will mean more playing time for JaVale McGee, who had 16 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots against the Celts Monday, and Kevin Seraphin.
The 6-10 Turiaf was averaging 1.5 points, three rebounds and 1.2 assists per game this season.
